    The quest for a casual leather messenger bag is one that every man has considered - Indiana Jones has one! - but he usually drops it when he imagines the tiniest possibility that someone will call it a purse. The word is kryptonite to any guy, but when I encountered the small Indonesian brand of Cravar, I realized that they'd nailed it.
    I've been using my F.C. and R.F. bags for years, and they're just the perfect balance of cool and subtle. Check them out!

      @cravarbags I'm a 192cm 97kg guy with a big frame, was just wondering which messenger bag would fit me the most.
      As I have been yearning to own a leather messenger bag that would look great with age and scuffs along the way for the longest time 😅😅
      Dark or light brown color preffered.
      Love you guys' content btw 💪
